Destroing...

Postby realzloy » Wed Dec 09, 2009 11:35 am

I've found a nice place which was abandoned, placed my totem and started new life. However old settlers left some hearth fires. They are right in the middle of my farm fields. I tried 2 destroy them with demolish button. Tried it about 10 times lost all my stamina, however they seems invincible. So do i just have 2 keep trying or do i have 2 use any tools for it, and how long can i demolish them if they are destruct-able, 10 minutes, hours, days? Or may be i just have 2 wait and they would gone themselves.
Moreover, i cant find a way 2 destroy the results of lay stone action. A lot of stone roads on my lands which i would like 2 plow, but i cant plow those stone roads. How can i remove them?

Read the wiki.

I mean, telling a person to read the wiki is fine and all... But just a dick move if that is all your saying. At least answer the person Chak.

The destroy action is based on your Str. The higher it is, the faster things will be destroyed. Having a pickax helps immensely, and having it equipped helps more.

To 'destroy' paved stones you must plant grass on it. Thats all, no voodoo or anything like that. Just have a seed in your inventory, and plant grass. The seed will be used up in the process.

I don't know, personally I have never actually succeeded in destroying a hearth fire. I think an ax will help, but I am unsure.

Your English isn't that bad btw.

Try and find a way to get a Bear Cape. They will boost your strength, even if its a low quality one, it should make it a little easier. A Pickaxe will help. The best way to destroy one on low strength is to ask someone who could do it for you else you are stuck drinking water/tea and devouring half the worlds stock of food to get rid of one...
Just stick too it or just plow around it. At least your not trying to build a Cabin there...

Booze raises your strength for a short while, and boar snuff raises it even more but it only lasts one or two swings.

i suggest to ignore them for now and raise your strength a bit. 10 is really weak, it would take very long. but i guess with 20 strength or so, this might be more reasonable...
and, you could also change your belif to barbarism, which increases your strength by (i think) 5% per point - 30% in total.
on the other hand, as youre new, i assume, it might be better to switch to civilisation first, as youll get a lot more lp...

You do not get more LP by switching towards Civilization ... it will increase your Int/Cha, and decrease Str/Con. None of those stats effects LP gain.
LP can be gained at a higher rate by increasing the Peaceful-slider, or by moving towards Change (the Change/Trad slider is automatically moved towards Change for every other move of the sliders.)
